Thank you. Thank you to all the voters in the 2011 cycle. You make a difference.
I am honored to have your votes of confidence for another term working on your behalf. It’s a great honor to have this job.
I look forward to making real progress on moving more Seattleites into living wage jobs, ensuring that no one has to sleep on our streets, and that when we spend our tax dollars we do it with the greatest efficiency and impact.
I truly believe that local government can solve the problems we face as a city and chart a path forward that’s great for us, our neighborhoods and our future.

My colleagues and I stay in close contact with state legislators on social safety net, transportation, housing utility, taxation and other issues.
Banking equity — and cash in pockets — for low-income Seattle residents
A couple of years ago a constituent e-mailed noting a San Francisco program saving low-income people from predatory lenders and check cashing fees. National studies show low-income people without checking accounts lose as much as $800 every year through fees and interest charged by non-bank lenders and check cashers. After reviewing the San Francisco model, I worked with former Mayor Greg Nickels to launch Bank On Seattle/King County. As of December 2010 approximately 40,000 Bank On accounts have been opened in Seattle and King County.
